    My ancestors grew up in the brutal cold of Siberia and the Yukon Territories of Canada. Temps of -40 to -65 or -70 below were not uncommon. I carry this bloodline to this day and have a strong tolerance for bitter cold.

    Your ancestors also drank. HOWEVER, that is neither here nor there.


    Looks like we will be hit with cold, sleet, freezing rain. You know, the kind of stuff that coats trees and power lines.

    I like this cold weather. I am enjoying it. I am certainly not looking forward to the hot, humid, sweaty summer that seems to go on forever. I'll take the cold weather over that horrid stuff any day. Now, there was a time in my life that I liked very hot weather. But these days I prefer it cold to hot.

    If it doesn;t snow or rain tonight I might even do some barbecuing outside this evening. Barbecuing is another thing I enjoy.

    I love hot weather. I can go to the flying field and fly RC, go to the gun range and shoot, and sit on the deck and drink cold beer. Ahhh..
    We never had weather like this before they started messing around with that internet stuff.

    Four seasons is nice. Missed the snow in Florida. I also like when it gets hot and the women start trying to get cool.

    I think we've had about 20" of snow so far this winter. About 17" more than last year, but still much less than normal for around here. So I'm told.

    I can do all those things in very cold weather. My ancestry goes back to Siberia and the Yukon territories of Canada. I inherited a strong tolerance for cold weather.

    You wouldn't like the heat we are having. I think it is over 20F here right now. I may have to BBQ as well. (Apologies to BBQ for using his suffix).

    It's 24 here now. By Wednesday it's going to be 49 and rainin. Once temps start to climb to 70 or above I start feeling too warm.

    About 27 degrees now. That's our high. Roads look black. Everything else looks white.
    Sleet, rain, ice.
